It's so hard to believe our little miss is all done with preschool and will be a big Kindergartner in the Fall.

9 months {Harper}

 
Harper had her 9 month well visit on March 21st.  Her stats are still so close to Hailey's (listed below):

Weight: 20.39lbs (78%)
Head 17.52in. (67%)

Harper, you are a busy little thing.  You have taken a few steps this past week but still have a ways to go before you are walking.  You started signing "more" and "all gone" this past week as well.  You clap, wave, babble Mama & Dada, and yell back to your sister from the other room/downstairs if you hear her talking to you.  Your favorite place to play in the house is Hailey's room, and she is so good about sharing her toys but keeping the small things out of reach.  You have the best smile and are so happy.  Teething doesn't agree with you, and neither does Tylenol .. it makes you super hyper.  Entertaining, yes...but so weird to watch you zoom around the house at a speed we didn't know you had.  You lean your head into us when you want loves & kisses, and your kisses are slobbery but sweet.  You love music and dancing.  You sing with me in the sweetest little voice.  You pull yourself up on my legs after you have pooped.  You do this when you haven't pooped too, mostly if I'm in the kitchen making dinner.  It drives me crazy, but the big smile on your face when I look down at you just reminds me that you won't be at my feet forever.  You love to be carried around.  Again, this makes it hard for me to get things done...but I secretly like you on my hip.  You are obsessed with the dishwasher.  You love being outside... where everything goes into your mouth.  You still aren't a big fan of the car, but your new car seat has helped.  You love baths.

So there you are in a nutshell at nine months.  Three short months and we'll be celebrating your 1st birthday on the first day of summer.  You really are our little sunshine, you and Hailey bring us so much joy.

Hailey at 9 months:

7 month photos {Harper}

Jocelyn did another amazing job!!  Harper was ready for her first nap, Joc was feeling a little under the weather, and I was all worried that Harper wasn't as "smiley" as she usually is.  But I should know by now, I don't need to worry because Jocelyn always captures the moment perfectly.  I really do love them, thank you so much!

Thanks to Gma & Gpa Hinton, we spent a fun and relaxing weekend in Leavenworth for our annual family vacation...it was Harper's first of many to come, hopefully.
